∴ People would be a lot better off if they’d enjoy being single. – Lewis Black

∴ You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody. – Maya Angelou

∴ Being single is definitely better than being with the wrong person. – Hassan Choughari

∴ Some people go through one relationship after another out of fear of being single.

∴ To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. – Oscar Wilde

∴ Some relationships are shortly lived while others take years of our lives. No matter the depth of our relationships, the longest relationship we have is with ourselves.Before being a good partner and lover for someone else, we must learn to be a good companion for ourselves.

∴ Single lady, the man you want might not necessarily be the man you need. – Martha Macharia

∴ We can easily recognize our desires because they are strong and overwhelming, yet they don’t always correspond to our needs. Desires blind us with passion and make us enter relationships that might be wrong for us.  Passion is not enough for a lasting relationship, that is why choosing a good partner is never easy.

∴ My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude. – Warsan Shire

∴ Some people have no problem being single. They love independence and solitude, and even if they crave love, they are willing to wait for that special someone who will bring them love, yet let them keep their independence. The best partner is someone who can meet our needs without changing us.

∴ If you are fantasizing love, you are still single from within a heart no matter what your relationship status is. – Pratik Akkawar

∴ Being single or being in a relationship means nothing if our craving for love is not met properly. A relationship without love is devastating for our souls.  It is better to be single and preserve our hope for love than to bury our desire for love in an unhealthy relationship.

∴ Single life is the best life until you get hit by lonely nights. – Jonathan Burkett

∴ Single life can be very exciting and liberating, without any responsibilities to hold us back. Even though it is fun, it is also very lonely from time to time. When we get home and there is no one to ask us about our day, we remember why a good relationship is so valuable.

∴ As a self described idealistic I never consider myself as single. I like to say that I’m in between romances at the moment. – Carl Henegan

∴ To put single life in a bright perspective, we could say that single life is just a short break between two different love stories. It is a time of self-discovery and endless possibilities which we can use to meet interesting, new people and build new relationships.

∴ I love being single. I can come and go as I please and stay out as late as I want to. – Eric Dickerson

∴ One of the best parts of being single is never having to check in with another person. When we are single, we can freely do whatever we want, whenever we want, without having to explain to anyone our decisions and choices. Single life is the ultimate freedom and it is a freedom that overwhelms us.

∴ I am a lover without a lover. I am lovely and lonely and I belong deeply to myself. – Warsan Shire

∴ We don’t have to be in a relationship to appreciate love or to express our love. Our loving nature is deeply embedded into our personalities and even when we are single, we are still the same loving and affectionate person that we are while in a relationship. Being single means we can direct this love towards ourselves and our well-being.

∴ You’re single not because you are not good enough for one, it’s that you’re too good for the wrong one. – Chris Burkmenn

∴ Being single does not mean that we are unworthy of love or that there is no one for us out there into the world. Being single is a matter of time and patience. We need to put ourselves out there so that we can find the person who is good for us.

∴ Being single doesn’t make you weak, it means that you are strong enough to be on your own. – Xavier Zayas

∴ Being single is not a weakness and it is not a proof that we are flawed. By embracing single life serenely we show that we are able to stand on our own, that we are independent and strong, and that we don’t need anyone to fix our life. Being single takes a special kind of strength.

∴ Being single doesn’t mean no one loves you… It just means that God is busy writing your love story. – Unknown

∴ When we are single for a long time, it is easy to become hopeless about our chances to find a suitable, loving partner. If we wait for a long time, we start to feel that no one will ever love us. This is a flawed way of thinking because being single is just a transition phase, not the end of the destination.

∴ I love being single. It’s almost like being rich. – Sue Grafton

∴ Being single surprisingly comes with a lot of benefits. When we are single we feel like being rich because we have plenty of time, energy, money, and freedom to make our lives interesting and exciting, without having to worry about someone else.

And not a single regret.”
